Abstract: Provided is a process for producing a polishing liquid composition with which it is possible to give a polished work that has a reduced surface roughness and a reduced amount of particles. The process for producing a polishing liquid composition involves a step in which a raw silica dispersion containing colloidal silica having an average primary-particle diameter of 1-100 nm is filtered through a filter including a filter aid, the filter aid having an average pore diameter, as measured by the mercury intrusion method, of 0.1-3.5 ?m.

Abstract: A polishing composition comprising a chelating compound or a salt thereof; a partially esterified product and/or partially etherified product of a polyhydric alcohol compound; and water; a polishing composition comprising water, an abrasive, an intermediate alumina, and a chelating compound or a salt thereof, wherein the content of the intermediate alumina is from 1 to 50 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the abrasive; and a polishing composition comprising water, an abrasive, an intermediate alumina, a chelating compound or a salt thereof, and a partially esterified product and/or partially etherified product of a polyhydric alcohol compound, wherein the content of the intermediate alumina is from 1 to 50 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the abrasive. By using the polishing composition, the polishing rate can be increased, and the surface roughness can be lowered, without causing defects such as scratches and pits on the surface of an object to be polished.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an abrasive composition for substrates of magnetic recording media, containing at least an abrasive, an abrasive auxiliary and water. The abrasive auxiliary comprises an aliphatic organic sulfate, an oxyalkylene alkyl ether sulfate or an amphoteric surface active agent, and the abrasive composition has a pH of 1 to 13.

Abstract: A lubricating oil composition including a phosphorus compound having two or more hydroxyl groups and a P—N bond in a molecule selected from the group consisting of compounds represented by the general formula (3), (4) or (5): wherein R1 to R5 and R7 to R9, which may be identical or different, each represents an aryl group having 6 to 18 carbon atoms; a linear alkyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms; a branched alkyl group having 3 to 18 carbon atoms; a linear alkenyl group having 2 to 18 carbon atoms; or a branched alkenyl group having 3 to 18 carbon atoms; and R6 represents hydrogen atom; a linear alkyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms; a branched alkyl group having 3 to 18 carbon atoms; a linear alkenyl group having 2 to 18 carbon atoms; or a branched alkenyl group having 3 to 18 carbon atoms; and a working fluid composition for refrigerating machine including the lubricating oil composition described above, and a hydrofluorocarbon.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a synthetic lubricating oil comprising cyclic ketals or cyclic acetals obtained by a reaction between one or more polyhydric alcohols having an even number of hydroxyl groups of not less than 4 and not more than 10 and one or more specific carbonyl compounds, or one or more ketals or acetals which are reactive derivatives of said carbonyl compounds; a working fluid composition for a refrigerating machine comprising a hydrofluorocarbon and a refrigeration oil containing the cyclic ketals or cyclic acetals; and novel compounds of the above cyclic acetals and a production method thereof. The present invention provides a synthetic lubricating oil which shows a good thermal stability, a good oxidation resistance, no carboxylic acid formation due to hydrolysis and a low hygroscopicity and is inexpensive as well.

Abstract: A work mounting apparatus comprises a nozzle head which repeatedly makes cycloid motion as a drum rotates while being held in a fixed orientation, a suction nozzle projecting downward from the nozzle head for receiving and mounting a work, and a liquid damper-type balancer for the nozzle head. The balancer contains a movable weight which relatively vibrates so as to cancel out vibration of the nozzle head.

Abstract: In a parts mounting apparatus, suction nozzles are mounted on a rotating carrier driven by a motor. With rotation of the rotating carrier, parts are sucked by the nozzles at a feed station and carried to a mounting station where the parts such as electronic parts are mounted on substrates, for example. A counter counts output pulses from an encoder mounted in the motor driving the rotating carrier. A microcomputer determines the rotational speed and rotational position of the rotating carrier from the count value of the counter. Based on the result of the determination, the microcomputer calculates a timing for delivering a signal for switching the nozzles between two different pneumatic states.

Abstract: A work or component mounting apparatus according to the present invention comprises a rotating drum arranged above a workbench and divided into upper and lower drums, a head unit detachably mounted to the lower drum of the rotating drum, a circular work head (or, in other words, a component head) attached to the head unit, a suction nozzle protruding from the outer peripheral surface of the work head toward the workbench, and a controller housed in the upper drum of the rotating drum for controlling the turning motion of the work head and the supply of suction pressure to the suction nozzle. While the lower drum is rotating, the suction nozzle of the work head repeats cycloid motion along the workbench with its posture kept fixed with respect to the workbench. While repeating the cycloid motion, the nozzle receives a work from a work feeder of the workbench by suction, and mounts the work on a printed board on the workbench.
